I am really ill with chronic liver disease and I cant hide it. i was dying 2 years ago but I managed to take my life back. My condition is stabke now and I'm waiting for a non Interferon cure. I see my doctors, take my meds, eat right, exercise and try to get enough sleep. I also talk about it. I would never blindside my loved ones by just dying on them.....

Your Response

Depends on whether something could be done about it or not. If I were to find out I have some sort of inoperable cancer, for example, I'd probably get my affairs in order, and I wouldn't mention it to anyone until I had to. There are some illnesses that you just can't hide or handle on your own. Toward the end, especially, you might need help to do things. I do have responsibilities, too, and someone would have to be in on what was going on to make sure things are taken care of if something happened to me.
